Jury duty, yes it's a voice against crime but it won't do anything to the issues plaguing us and the issues plaguing us will only grow. Our politics are a tugowar match that is endlessly back and forth with there never being a consistent voice to carry things. One voice will implant a solution only to wait for the next voice to come and try and press a reset button
The issues with jury duty and voting though scream that the people of America are blind and careless which only allows are wounds to grow uncontrollably
Jury duty is much more than a voice against crime. It's also a voice against the broken system you railed against in the OP. Most people don't realize the power they wield as a member of the jury. They get to judge the law. That's huge! Most people think they're only judging a defendant but that's not true at all. Effectively, a jury is tasked with defending the Bill of Rights. If only the people realized this. It's a political institution.
But that's the way TPTB want it. Just like voting. But elections are bit more trickier to understand.
